The facade here: real people, real connectivity
60% or more are fake profiles or dead accounts
Contacted say 30 potential hopefuls, maybe 1 response. You can see some people actually visited your profile but said nothing? Either they're treating this like it's a dating website or they're simply fake profiles giving you fake visits to your actual profile, which is pretty damned weird.
Their ultimate goal is to monetize but they try to religiously ensure you and others like you don't actually hook up unless you pay $$. I get it, but they don't actually know how to w/o being stupid or doing it all wrong (which feels like a scam ultimately and it pretty much is).
All the incentives to pay for a VIP account aren't actually any incentive at all.

Tip for consumers:
avoid time + energy not using this
